The Numurs, sometimes referred to as the Jadrajake culture or West-Aktari were a group of presumably related ethnicities of Fals inhabiting the west coast of the Isthmus of Katar before Upper Borosan-speaking humans migrated into the central and lower Boroso until around 50BC. Anything known about the history and culture of the Numurs comes from contemporaneous Aktari sources, and unfortunately very scarce archaeological finds relating to ancient fals in the region. Regardless, numerous skeletal remains have been and continue to be found. On the basis of these remains' genetic profiles it has been inferred that these populations were closely related, having likely only diversified within the 2000 years before humans arrived in the region. The remains also indicated a strong genetic connection with the modern-day Aktari to the east, and the remains of some fals found much farther east on the Zaak peninsula and the Kirmired.
The first in a long series of fals skeletal finds was made by a farmer on Kifu island in 1785, and gradually on more nearby islands and also on the northern coast of the Ngutan Sea. At the time thought to be the remains of fals more familiar to the scientific community of the time, and presumed to be slaves, nomads, or traders; in the last 50 years remaining the finds have been complied, reexamined and conclusively proven to be neither Mherdic nor Aktari by Pek Jadrajake.
Name
The name Numur is derived from Thaaft Numurleeag, itself from Sekn Nomohrw ("joy/bliss islands"), the original Fáknir name of the volcanic island chain off the west coast of central Boroso, where the first Numur-related finds were unearthed. It is unknown what Numur peoples called themselves, as their languages are entirely unattested, and remnants such as toponyms and hydronyms are highly speculative at best; however, two individual Aktari sources from between 100BC and 50AD describe the Numur languages as sharing ancestry with those of the Aktari, though distinct and unintelligible.
